Boma cost during Hurricane: $20. Let's not kid ourselves. Menu is scaled down and price doesn't include alcohol, as usual.

Edit: I wouldn't know the difference about a "scaled down" menu at Boma.

I was looking at the lists on the main page for dining and thinking to myself, "Whelp, if you have to be stuck during a hurricane, AKL seems like the place to be stuck."

We were stuck for Charley and I remember they fed us pretty well for not that much money at WL.

Couple of things:

Basements/storm shelters aren’t really a thing in the South, for various reasons.

Those people may have supplies, generators, etc. They may also be in an area where flooding/storm surge was not an issue in previous storms, so they thought they could ride it out.

There are also those who have stayed before for previous storms and think they will be fine again.

And finally, some people simply do not have the money to evacuate and feel they have no choice to stay. You would hope they would go to a shelter in that case.

I agree with you that hurricanes can give someone plenty of time to prepare and plan, but the devil is as always in the details.

I tip my hat to those who live in tornado alley, I don’t know how you do it when a threat can just materialize out of nowhere.

This. Back when Hurricane Florence pulverized eastern North Carolina, many people chose not to evacuate because where they lived had never flooded, not during Floyd or Matthew. Of course, as we all know, Florence brought catastrophic flooding all across the area in places that never before flooded. Evacuating or not is not as black and white as people make it out to be.

My brother works for AAA (his office covers part of CA) and I asked him a similar question after a wildfire that resulted in them paying out for hundreds of homes lost, he said they don’t even worry about it because they (AAA) have insurance also, it’s called reinsurance.

If/when their (reinsurance) rates go up they just pass it on to the customer. The big companies are safe.
